Actor Lee Jung Jae talked about 'Squid Game' season 2.

On August 3rd, Lee Jung Jae, who is about to release the movie 'Hunt', had an interview at some place in Jongno-gu, Seoul.

On this day, Lee Jung Jae opened his mouth in relation to season 2 of Netflix's 'Squid Game', which has been confirmed for production.

When asked about the progress of 'Squid Game' Season 2, Lee Jung Jae said, "Director Hwang Dong Hyuk even came to the VIP premiere of 'Hunt', but I don't ask the director. I only heard that I was coming out and didn't ask."

Lee Jung Jae said he wanted to see the screenplay.

He said, "I want to see Seong Gi Hun's feelings from the first scene to the end. It is very important to feel it for the first time. Even when acting on the set, there are times when I think about how I felt when I saw the scenario. I don't think so,".

He also revealed in several interviews that he told director Hwang Dong Hyuk not to talk like that to him, who keeps saying that there are dolls Cheol-i and Yeong-hee. 

Lastly, Lee Jung Jae pointed out, "Season 2 is ready for a very densely written treatment. Now, it is the stage where we are going to create a scenario with the treatment that has been designed."

In June, director Hwang Dong Hyuk officially announced the confirmation of the production of 'Squid Game' season 2 and said, "Now Seong Gi Hun is back. The frontman is coming back. A suit man with a ticket may also come back. You can also meet Young-hee's boyfriend Cheol. I'll see you again with a new game and an amazing story."

Director Hwang Dong Hyuk previously said in an interview with foreign media several times that he was aiming to release Season 2 of 'Squid Game' on Halloween (October 31) in 2024.
